Compulsive Sexual Behaviour & Support

Confidential, respectful support for compulsive sexual behaviour and its impact on wellbeing and relationships.

Compulsive Sexual Behaviour

Intimacy anorexia, where the partner of a sex addict may experience emotional distance, is also a common issue. You can take the intimacy anorexia quiz http://intimacyanorexia.com/ia-test/.

There is hope, and effective treatments are available. Individual therapy combined with group support through organisations like Sex Addicts Anonymous or Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is often recommended.

Dr. Glenn, certified by the American Association of Sex Addiction Therapy (AASAT), is the only certified sex addiction therapist in Southeast Asia. Combining both therapy and group support is crucial for long-term recovery.

Partners of sex addicts also require time and space for their own healing, as they often experience a whirlwind of emotions. The impact on families, especially children, can be severe, making support for the partner just as important.

At Counseling Perspective, we work with each individual in a couple, offering both personal healing and relationship support through couples counselling. If you or your partner are struggling with sex compulsion, contact us via email, phone, or WhatsApp to arrange a session with one of our trained therapists.

Varian Monteiro

Counselling Therapist

Having an ongoing interest in the intertwined workings of the mind and body, Varian is decidedly enthusiastic about counselling and all things psychology-related. Adopting a client-centred humanistic approach as the driving form of his counselling style, he has been assisting clients in managing their behaviours in one-to-one and group sessions since 2013. He began his counselling journey by being introduced to behavioural compulsions and impulse control difficulties, which also happen to be his areas of speciality. He has facilitated all-male support groups for compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, and behaviour modification for problematic sexual behaviour, in both private and governmental settings. In these two environments, Varian worked with clients on their psychoeducation and to unlearn the shame and guilt surrounding compulsion. While he provides multiple tools to guide clients onto their paths of recovery, he draws upon several other techniques that are beneficial to his clients; focusing strongly on emotions while involving some cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural, and somatic approaches.
